Future Of Ham Radio | Radio Spectrum Inventory Act

Many thanks goes out to Jack, K4SAC for transmitting Radio Spectrum Inventory Act (reference link) into ham radio's blogosphere.

I'm not surprised given current trends and the number of mobile devices competing for spectrum space in conjunction with white space devices. The effect is cumulative and valuable ionospheric real estate perhaps is underutilized.

The Radio Spectrum Inventory Act requires measuring the number of intentional radiators and/or end-user intentional radiators between 300 MHz and 3.5 Gigahertz. Additionally, 1). Type of intentional radiators operating in the band, 2). Type of unlicensed intentional radiators authorized to operate in the band, 3). Contour maps illustrating signal coverage and strength and, 4.) Approximate geo-location of base stations and fixed transmitters.

Economic innovation leads the way as a centralized website may facilitate the creation of spectrum database(s) for efficient spectrum management within mobility technologies from one's Blackberry, netbook, or mobile phone, after all; the new personal computer is the cell phone. Furthermore, white space device allocation allows non-line of sight and sufficient bandwidth which may drive useful mobile applications in the near future.
